Is the performance of western democracies in decline? Which countries show the best performance? What type of democracy works best? This book offers a comprehensive analysis of twenty-one OECD countries, systematically examining all major domestic policy areas--domestic security policy, economic policy, social policy, and environmental policy. The findings confront widely held assumptions about the performance of democracies and the role of democratic institutions.
